As part of this assignment, I will also assign in-class peer review of another team’s memo, similar to how corporate colleagues will check each other’s writing before publishing important notifications, policy, or reports. See the Project 1 peer review assignment in Canvas for more details.

Important note about Chat GPT/AI: By submitting this assignment, you acknowledge your group’s agreement with the following statement:
We know that in this course we can use ChatGPT, but we must always apply critical thinking to anything ChatGPT tells us AND we must always make a Canvas assignment comment telling the instructor whenever we have used ChatGPT and how we have used it.
